You missed this out -
"Twelve months ago we were paying £525 for every thousand bricks laid - now it's more like £575-600.
"That's just barely going to get lads through the gate.
"Whereas if you needed people sharpish we would have to go up to £650.
"A good brickie can do a thousand bricks in a day - that's in a best case scenario with a labourer and just laying bricks 100 per cent flat out full time.
"Me and Gaz were in a gang ourselves - I was looking back at our bookings from 2007 and we were getting paid £300 per thousand bricks.
"So the rates have doubled - and we were still earning £800 a week back then."

Seems people in IT think they somehow earn good pay, £600 a day is pretty standard for Southern England even for a plasterer or electrician.
